The molded glass jar has been hand painted in a decoration of berry vines. The background is a dark warm rose color transitioning down the jar to a paler rose. The base is flat and white. The mouth rim has a silver plate band with a metal handle. There is a matching silver plate lid that fits snugly. The metal rim has a bead pattern. The lid has raised concentric circles with a round finial.

There are no hallmarks or labels.

MEASUREMENTS
6 ½ in (16.5 cm) diameter x 6 in (15.2 cm) tall to top of lid
9 in (22.9 cm) tall with the handle extended.
Weighs 1 lb 6.8 oz.

CONDITION
There are no breaks, chips, cracks, or repairs. The painting is in good condition with only two tiny misses near the shoulder. I don’t believe they are from wear but rather from manufacture. The silver plate is now devoid of silver. The iron handle is bent and shows some rust.
